TJ Ellis

Always down to send it with the homies, TJ Ellis is a dirt specialist.

We’re not introducing anyone new here; TJ Ellis has been an established Pro for nearly 10 years. His determination and skill has kept him around the scene and after being part on the Vans family for most of that time, he is finally being rewarded with a spot on the Pro team. Not only a dirt rider, TJ has signed up for park events too. He’s down to flip-whip the spine and blast a quarter. It’s so rad to see and feel the excitement in his riding -you never know what’s coming!
